Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am so sorry for your loss Amy. I have a memory when I was a little girl of your mama and this was before she married your daddy but they were dating. We didn’t live to far from them then and her or sometimes Carolyn would come and get me and they use to try to teach me how to dance. Your mama would tell me to step onto her feet and she would dance around the room with me. I was a little girl but I always remembered that. May God bless you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It was always our conversation talking about our Mothers that built our relationship. It was the last conversation we had when we got to see each other… about our Mothers. My heart is with you and my prayers.
So very sorry for the loss of your mom Amy. I know how much she meant to you and what a very nice picture of her. I can tell by looking at it, that she was such a beautifully, kind, loving and generous woman that taught those traits to you as well because you are the same way. Love, hugs, and prayers to you during this time.
